nearer parts, and in their course, as they approach, they 

 unite in the same sheath, forming larger bundles, in 

 which the fibres are so small as not to be distinguishable ; 

 and it is impossible to determine the origin of each when 

 thus united. (See Plate 3, Fig. 1.) 



98. THE NERVES ARE OF DIFFERENT KINDS and for 

 different uses, and therefore a better classification than 

 that by members can usually be made. 



99. FOR SOME PURPOSES, TO CLASS THE NERVES by 



the members in which their outer ends are found is very 

 advantageous, as it would always be if their course was 

 distinct from each member to the brain. 



100. THE SKIN MAY BE CLASSED, as it usually is, by 

 members, with great propriety, though it is merely a 

 coveiing in its relations to the parts beneath ; as to the 

 mind, any of its parts may be named by anything that 

 will distinguish them. (See Fig. 4, Plate 7.) 



101. THE BLOOD-TUBES, being, like the nerves, of a 

 connective character, cannot very distinctly be classed 

 by the members, yet to an extent this is always done, 

 and with advantage ; and the branching of the blood- 

 tubes indicates distinctly the six members. (See Plate 5.) 



102. THE CONTENTS OF THE HEAD AND TRUNK- 

 WALLS will be respectively located in the Head and 

 Trunk. 



103. THE USES BY ANALYSIS, the structure by Syn- 

 thesis, and common observation, except as to the larynx, 

 would correctly divide the Body into its six members. 



104. THE USES OF THE MEMBERS EXHIBIT the neces- 

 sity for, and the structure of them exhibits the fact 

 of, a remarkable similarity and simplicity of structure 

 in the larger parts of the body ; four entire members and 

 a considerable portion of the other two, differing only 

 in the size, form, and position of only five different kinds 

 of organs, their substantial and vital characteristics being
